Iron Man 3 stuntmen and women in costume were seen jumping out of a plane above Oak Island and parachuting upon the beach. Also military helicopters were observed getting in on the action.

Last week we saw the stunt crew hanging above the Cape Fear River. Today's scenes appear to show what took place before Iron Man swooped in for the rescue. The rumor from the photographer is that the scene involves Air Force One getting shot down. Based on the photos of the attack helicopters I'll assume they are responsible for bringing down the plane full of high ranking military passengers and flight attendants.

Iron Man 3 will be directed by Shane Black, and is expected to hit theaters May 3, 2013! The film stars: Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), Gwyneth Paltrow (Virginia Potts), Don Cheadle (Col. James Rhodes), and with Ben Kingsley as the main villain.
